I recently switched from iTerm2 to Alacritty and in this video I show you everything I do to create a minimal, amazing & fast terminal setup with it on macOs. I've really enjoyed this change. Hope you guys enjoy the video!

UPDATE: After making this video, many of you recommended WezTerm and I decided to give it a try. It's awesome, so thank you! Though Alacritty works great, WezTerm is a bit better in my opinion. I've added a ~/.wezterm.lua config file to the repo: https://github.com/josean-dev/dev-environment-files/blob/main/.wezterm.lua. This is all you need to change to have pretty much the same setup as the one shown in this video, but with WezTerm instead. Thanks!
